1. It has a whopping number of product placements. And yes, people have nothing better to do than to actually count them. According to Advertising Age, there are at least nine different brands appearing in the video. But despite the cornucopia of products, only a handful of brands paid for placements, Lady Gaga’s manager Troy Carter told Advertising Age. Among them are Miracle Whip and Virgin Mobile. The rest were simply given free airtime as thanks for a good partnership with Lady Gaga’s previous shows and projects.

2. The Youtube video has gained over 14,000,000 hits since it came out last week. Enough said.

3. Sexiness is all over the place—from the bra-flashing guards to the sexy jailbirds dressed in bondage attire.

4. Violence is all over the place—from fighting inmates to a poisoning spree.

5. Lady Gaga addresses the hermaphrodite issue. In one scene, the busty lady guards strip an already braless Gaga down to her bare essentials. One of them quips, “I told you she didn’t have a d—k.”

6. Gaga makes out with a girl—but then again, everybody does that these days.

7. Beyoncé is in it, and she was very, very naughty. Although I believe Lady Gaga could’ve done her magic on her own, Beyoncé’s role was interesting. She played the ruthless Honey B, who bailed Gaga out of jail so that they could go on a sexy, killing rampage.

8. Quentin Tarantino lent his bright yellow Chevrolet Silverado SS—a.k.a. The Pussy Wagon, the truck that the bride drives in Kill Bill: Volume 1. Beyoncé and Lady Gaga look much better driving that truck.

9. It has a lot of PG lines, such as the part where Beyonce’s ruthless character tells the guy she killed: “I knew you’d take all of my honey, you selfish motherf*****.”

10. The end of the video flashes “to be continued,” which means we’ll definitely see more of Jonas Akerlund’s creative Gaga genius.

11. MTV banned the video. Yes, sir, the famous music video network found the mini movie-cum-music video too provocative and controversial. I wonder if it has anything to do with Lady Gaga’s team choosing E! as the official channel where they premiered the video. According to reports, other music channels may also ban the video from being aired. Who cares? We still have Youtube.

If you haven’t seen the video yet, spare nine and a half minutes of your life watching below. You won’t regret it.

One fan said it best: “Anyone who’s ever seen her live can testify she is nothing like Britney Spears or Madonna. [Lady Gaga] really is everything.”

DJ Jodie Harsh leaves the MAC VIVA Glam launch in central London last Monday. Who could blame Jodie for pulling a Gaga? Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper were the stars of the MAC event where they launched their own signature lipstick color.

Singer Kelis goes all-American with her Lady Liberty-inspired getup.

Well, it is the Costume Designers Guild Awards and Mona May is a movie costume designer.

These days, you can put anything—and I mean anything—on Lady Gaga and she’ll pull it off. Being a daring music icon makes her life so much easier, unlike up-and-coming celebrities who have to please the fashion police with designer labels and dress codes.

Last Saturday, we spotted Lady Gaga in Mr. Chow’s Restaurant at 1:15am (and still kicking!) for a private celebration party for her tour team. They had just finished the second of two performance dates at the O2 Arena in London.

She was wearing a clear latex costume accessorized with a silver lobster headpiece and a chicken claw around her wrist. Don’t worry, PETA, they’re all fake!

As Cupertino recovers from a weekend of champagne and revelry, here are some highlights worth googling:

1. The 10 billionth iTunes download is “Guess Things Happen That Way” by Johnny Cash. It was downloaded by Louie Sulcer of Woodstock, Georgia, who won a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card as part of Apple’s 10 Billion Songs Countdown contest.

2. The most legally downloaded song of all time (or at least since iTunes started in ’03) is “I Gotta Feeling” by Black Eyed Peas, followed by Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” and “Boom Boom Pow,” also by BEP. View the complete list here.

3. Online experts are predicting that iTunes will be tweaking its services to compete with other online downloading companies. Among the possible improvements are cheaper download prices and streaming options.

Jennifer Love Hewitt of The Ghost Whisperer played dress-up last February 21st to celebrate her 31st birthday. She posed with pals outside her house wearing black fishnet stockings, a black and pink tutu, and a statement shirt. She also had her hair tied into a Lady Gaga-esque bow. Either that, or she’s a fan of Mickey Mouse.

Remember Bobby Trendy? You may recognize him for his regular appearances on The Anna Nicole Show. Last week he was spotted wearing a foil-like headpiece, oversized Chanel necklace, and black platform heels. His dog was dressed to the extremes, too. Lady Gaga much?

Out in the newsstands today in UK is Lady Gaga’s Q Magazine cover. The cover blurb reads “Lady Gaga Has Risen” and shows a topless Gaga, with one hand strategically covering her assets, of course.

Doesn’t this remind you a bit of Edward Scissorhands? Lady Gaga’s spiky trousers and matching pointy hand gloves do resemble Johnny Depp’s iconic character in 1990. Read the story’s snippet (pun intended) below:

[sic] Since her debut single, Just Dance, crashed to Earth with the force of a meteorite in 2008, Lady Gaga has become both the biggest and the most extreme pop star on the planet. With over 8 million album sales and three global Number 1s to her name, she is mainstream culture’s most controversial “nutter”. Q spoke to the global starlet about the phenomenal rise of Lady Gaga, the artist, the person and the media phenomenon. The 23 year old with more confidence than most global mega-stars twice her age was as candid as you’d expect and things went to plan, well, for the first part at least… “It’d be a real f**king story, right?”, she says with a smile.

Other than Lady Gaga, this month’s issue features 100 Most Shocking Moments in Music, The Last Days of Jimi Hendrix, John Lydon, Rufus Wainwright, John Belushi, Mumford & Sons, and much more.

Nicola Roberts of British girl group Girls Aloud takes a bow—a whole lot of bows, to be exact!

Of course you predicted that Lady Gaga would make it to my list. She was the biggest winner that night; not only because of her outlandish tiered dress (above) and lace-appliquéd body stocking (below), but also because she bagged three awards—Best International Breakthrough Act, Best International Album, and Best International Female Solo Artist. She dedicated her “Telephone On A Piano” performance to the late Alexander McQueen.

Can you spot Lily Allen in this group of pink camouflage dancers? She opened the show by singing her hit “The Fear.” She changed from her Chanel red carpet dress into this sexy leather number. She again changed her outfit, this time into a black dress and orange wig to accept her Best British Female Solo Artist award.

Who in the world is that woman trying to out-Gaga the Gaga? Why, it’s ’80s popstar Cyndi Lauper! Both women are M.A.C. Viva Glam spokespersons and M.A.C. happens to be one of the event’s sponsors. Sorry, Cyndi, but you’ve had your moment decades ago; it’s Lady Gaga’s world now.

Here’s a closer look at Lady Gaga’s pearly whites, and if you care to know, the shade of M.A.C. lipstick she wore that night:

The event helped kick off New York’s Fall 2010 Fashion Week, and as predicted, Lady Gaga’s performance made it worthwhile.

According to NY Mag, the new music video, “Telephone,” could be a continuation of Lady Gaga’s hit “Paparazzi,” where she poisons her lover. In “Telephone,” Lady Gaga’s character is sent to prison, but soon gets rescued by the bombshell played by none other than Beyonce.

As you wait for the video to wrap up, check out official behind-the-scenes photos here.

Was that a supernova? A planetarium constellation? A walking hurricane? Oh, Lady Gaga, you never cease to amaze me. This was just one of the exclusive Armani Privé ensembles she put on that night.

The punk-rocker is now a lady! Pink surprised everyone with her crystal-encrusted degradé gown.

Sorry, Imogen Heap. Nobody can ever outdo Lady Gaga, but you gave it a good shot.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ricky Martin is alive! I repeat, Ricky Martin is back!

Glambert rocked, as usual. Why, Adam Lambert could wear a real vampire’s costume from the 1800s and still make it look hot.

Who is Shaila Durcal, or better yet, what in the world was she wearing?!

I give David and Cathy Guetta the “rocker couple of the night” award.

Oh, Britney. Your see-through, black lace Dolce & Gabbana dress over a bodysuit and fishnet stockings just wasn’t cutting it.

Did Ciara just have a chat with Britney before heading to the Grammys?
